Review:Secondary to the Bible, I believe this is a wonderful Handbook for Life. It is short, precise and is written in such a manner that all ages can benefit. I am highly recommending both the written and audio versions of the book to my family and friends. Read more

Review:This is the most inflammatory of Mr. LaVey's first four books. In the other three books, Mr. LaVey attempts to explain his philosophy to the reader. His explanations include cosmetics to make the philosophy more attractive.
In "The Satanic Rituals" Mr. LaVey provides the text (in English plus the original German) of the actual rituals used within The Church of Satan, plus instructions sufficient to allow a priest to conduct each ritual. The rituals are presented with *very* little in... Read more

Review:Timeless wisdom

The same conversations that saturate and permeate our media, our lives, our relationships were happening hundreds of years ago. The same human condition. The same questions. A beautiful book. Read more

Review:As stated by other reviewers, this book is (1) tedious, (2) a rehash of past Dennettisms, and (3) a bait-and-switch. On the last point, it does not provide the "thinking tools" it promises. The short, numbered chapters give the illusion that the author is going to share a host of "thinking tools" when in fact said chapters are nothing more than...short, numbered chapters. I've liked Dennett's other books. Read those. Skip this one. Read more

Review:J.K. Rowling's commencement address to Harvard graduates is filled with humor, compassion and insight. In a world that defines success in oppressively narrow terms, her message about the importance of failure and imagination in our lives is incredibly poignant. Read more

Review:All three of the books Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner with Buddah are wonderful. Funny, poignant filled with life lessons. This last one includes a little more drama that the others, but all are so well written. Bravo Roland Merullo! Read more

Review:This is a thrilling, sometimes repetitious, but ultimately rewarding book. And while this is the first one I have read by Ken Wilber, it will certainly not be the last.

"A Brief History of Everything" is structured dialogically, a series of interviews in which Wilber plays both himself and his interlocutor. The structure is both accommodating and sophisticated: one the one hand, the dialogues create a conversational tone, and this makes Wilber's ideas more readily accessible to a general ... Read more

Review:Definitely a different view on life. Great in theory but I would personally find it unsettling to know my wife has a diary and a roster for a whole series of lovers.
Good reading though; and one I enjoyed. (this is not a review, but just my impression) Read more

Review:Written over 2300 years ago, this cornerstone of political philosophy retains an astonishing degree of relevancy and applicability to the modern world. The prose takes the form of a friendly debate (with occasional humorous excursions into antagonism when Thrasymachus takes offense a few times) between four or five men, ostensibly on elucidating the nature of justice. Well, besides discussing justice, Plato launches into a description of his ideal state along with a somewhat comprehensive anal... Read more

Review:I can't believe how interesting this book is. This book will not remind you of the science class that you hated all those years ago. In fact some of the things you were taught back then may have not been completely correct now that gene mapping has started revealing new knowledge!
Get this book! You probably will need to be educated about this stuff in the VERY near future. Read more
